As JRA already replied with more Samba3-specific things, just a word about the 
Samba4 handling. In the last months, we've been working on getting more and 
more features of Samba3 and Samba4 use the same codebase or at least behave 
the same way. There's a good chance that both implementations will converge 
to one sort of behavior, so if we get that implemented we should be fine.

Cheers,
Kai
